Lyrics

I'm so tired of your lies
And the evil things you're doing behind my back
Are there crimes that you have never committed?
I doubt it, sometimes I wonder, when will you die?
You're insane, you are bad
You wreck everything you touch and you're a sociopath
But there's one thing that everyone's wondering
When will you die?
Schoolchildren stay at home (yeah)
And all the banks will close (yeah)
Each year we'll mark the date (yeah)
On which we celebrate (yeah)
I know how, I know why
I can picture every part of your comeuppance, except
For the one remaining piece of the puzzle
Which is when you'll die
This is Dan and that's Dan
And that's Marty on the drums to complete the band
And I'm John and he is also John
And all of us are wondering when you're gonna die
Still you live, you go on
But you're running out the clock, and if we knew how long
I'd be counting down the days
Until the lovely one on which you're gone
On that promised morning
We will wake and greet the dawn
Knowing that your wicked life is over
And that we will carry on
We'll exhale, we'll high five
We will know at last how great it is to be alive
We'll be lining up and buying tickets
And then we'll be jumping up and down on your grave
You're insane, you are bad
You wreck everything you touch and you're a sociopath
And the only way to mitigate would be to know the date
You're scheduled to vacate, when are you going to die?
Look me in the eye, tell me when you'll die
